If you pick up the most recent issue (January 2010) of Chile Pepper magazine you’ll find my recipe for the Fire Island Daiquiri listed on page 34 in Kara Newman’s article about Hellfire bitters. I have to give most, well all, of the credit to Kara for getting this recipe published. She was writing an article about Hellfire bitters and asked if she could include my recipe as part of the piece. Naturally I was thrilled at the chance. So there you have it. If you’d like to read the article you can also find it on Kara’s site here.

If you’re interested in some other spicy cocktails take a look at Kara’s book Spice & Ice. It’s entirely devoted to spicy drinks with key ingredients including chiles, ginger and wasabi.
